About Me

Welcome to our family blog. We created this blog so that our family here and in Egypt can share with us in the joy of having Jacob in our lives. It's very hard for us to have family so far away and we want them to see Jacob grow and know him well. We miss them all and can't wait to see you very soon. Enjoy!

Jacob is ready for Ms. Collen's. I tried forever to get him to wear his Cars backpack, but he hated it. Then one day he just started wearing it. We are getting him an Elmo backpack for his birthday.

Here's my little lion. Last night he chased his daddy around the house in nothing but his lion towel. Growling!!!!!!!

TV time with Daddy

I'm not real sure how this happened. Jacob doesn't watch TV, but I was in the middle of Project Runway when he decided to change the channels. It ended up on Sponge Bob Square pants - go figure. Anyway, he called for his Daddy and patted the floor next to him to instruct Ashraf where to sit. It was just the sweetest thing. He looked over at his Daddy, smiled the biggest grin and then turned to watch TV. This lasted a total of 1 min and he was bored and ran out of the room leaving Daddy and Sponge Bob all alone.

Manville's picnic

We spent Saturday at Fort Yargo state park where Poppa's work had a picnic. Jacob enjoyed being out of the house and running through the woods (Nona in tow). He also fit right in the with the Manville crew. As the man started to call out Bingo numbers Jacob decided to help by repeating every sound the man made. I had no idea Bingo players were so serious. I don't think they were too thrilled with the small echo. Anyway, Jacob loved being with his favorite person and I tried to take some pictures. Enjoy!

Rock Band with Uncle Rob







We celebrated Uncle Rob's birthday on Saturday. Everyone chipped in and his friend Jonathon bought him Rock Band. Rob never left the TV. It was wonderful to see him have such a good time. Jacob enjoyed his time with Audra. He loved on her every second he got. A real ladies man.

Children's museum

Jacob finally was able to visit the Children's museum. We went today with a friend of mine. He loved every minute of it. I think his favorite part was the water exploring. He even tried to climb into the tank. Good thing I brought a change of clothes.

We went to Stephanie and Chris' house on Saturday. Chris cooked out hot dogs and hamburgers. They were sooooooo yummy. Jacob played in the Poooooo and Stef and I jumped in for a little while. We had a really good time, but due to nap time we couldn't stay long. Thanks Stef and Chris!!!!!

VBS

Well, VBS is coming to a close tonight. I was the older children's teacher, hmmmm! Jacob really enjoyed the music end, but really didn't like being left by Mommy and Nona. I think he wanted free run of the church. Here is a few pictures. Jacob is going through this stage where he doesn't want his picture taken. If he sees the camera his bottom lip comes out and he shouts at me. Oh well!
